Get ready for an hilarious, equal parts couple’s therapy, equal parts life coaching session (with a bit of food talk thrown in), as Anna Barnett chats to UK fashion’s power couple, Henry Holland and David Hodgson, for the fourth instalment of her new podcast, The Filling. The conversation weaves us through how they met, their successful career paths, and how being northern keeps them grounded in a capricious industry. What we all really want to know, however, is, just how big was David’s award-winning marrow he grew when he was 5, and what are turkey turds, exactly, and why do they have them in their fridge?

“I’ve lost many a tooth to Haribo and I’m proud of that.” David
“You know a chocolate orange is my favourite chocolate outside of mini egg season.” Henry
